Topic: soundsystem with ethernet (Read 1631 times)

Just today I've been doing some windowshopping in the mall checking out a possible new soundsystem. Some of them had a RS232, but I also noticed some with an ethernet-port...is it possible to use that to control the receiver, or will it only be used for streaming from the net?What are you experiences with that, or what models are you guys using?

I get my self and Onkyo TX-NR708 Sound System. I love it.. I found the "Control over Network" option and from what I have read it can control the sound system same way as RS232.I want to try and create a Device template. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I just downloaded the command file from the site so I hope to get LMCE to control the system.Is there any templates I can look at?ThanksC

Ok So I have enabled my System to be controlled over Network. After a few days of searching I manage to find a few forms that help with my investigation. From what I understand you can use Telnet to communicate with you system just like you will do with RS232. It was suggested to use Hercules SETUP HW to do my test to make sure I get the commands correct. I have successfully connected and send commands to my system. My question is: how would I go about creating the device template in webmin? And what would I use to send the commands? Will LMCE make a telnet connection and stay connected? I don't mind just want to make sure I understand the workings..Please if any one can help me with this, it will be create.ThanksC
